Hey everyone!

Just wanted to take a minute to tell you about something fantastic! Cause you know I'm always looking out for you all! ;) My super fab Mom and sis Laci started an Etsy shop called Orange Blossom Crafts. Right now they have some three piece jewelery sets (necklace, bracelet and earrings), but are looking to add more crafty stuffs later ( Read more... )

Whooo hooo! Ok I can now show you what I had been talking about on Sunday! I made some little crochet flowers to put on my cards and scrapbook pages!!!

I haven't taken pics yet because I just did some practice ones that aren't that great. So...you can see them in the video here. Also, this is probably how I really, truly am in real life. I think ( Read more... )

This post is mainly for ofenjen and anyone else that has told me I CAN do something with yarn and crochet hooks and things of that nature. Jen told me that she was sure I could do that type of craft, but I really didn't think I could. I'd tried cross stitch (I taught lezlishae actually!) and I'd briefly tried doing a crochet blanket 7 years ago when I knew I was ( Read more... )

So I finally got around to updating some scrapbook layouts on my Krafty Blog. That puts me at 88 layouts completed for the year! I'm still trying to figure out how to get my 365 goal accomplished, but I think as long as I'm having fun while I'm doing it, and making a big dent into my massive mound of pictures...well then I'm not doing too bad. ;P I ( Read more... )

Whew! Got back from the gym and went right into making carmel apples for the kids' teachers for teacher appreciation week at school. Um, currently I'm still waiting on the caramel to soften back up. I did one freakin apple and (duh) I took the pot off the heat and the caramel hardened right up. Boo.

Ok apples done, here's the breakdown:
1 - only end ( Read more... )

Ugh, I can't believe its almost Monday again, I swear I said that same thing this time last week! ;)

I had a nice Mother's Day today, it was largely spent visiting my MIL and Jake's grandma, but that was ok. For my MIL I had the idea to blow up some pictures I had taken of the kids with Jake's Grandpa last summer. I did the pic of him and the two ( Read more... )

Well, I'm really bummed the weekend is almost over AGAIN. Seriously, you think I'd be used to this cycle by now, but ohhhh noooo, I never want it to be Monday.

Good thing is the kids go back to school tomorrow. They've been off track for a month now and are antsy to get back to school. After this, I don't think they have any more off track time, so ( Read more... )

Blahhhhh.....I have lots to catch up on here, you posty bunch you! :D

Tonight I worked on some cards, and finally updated the swap cards I've done with my stamp group since February...haha yeah I sucked at updating that apparently. Oh and btw I love this new icon because it looks like stamp blocks to me! So you will see this anytime I talk about ( Read more... )

I'm so gullible, I almost fell for the whole LJ cut and update thing for April Fool's. Gah I can be an idiot! :)

Speaking of April Fool's...do you play pranks? I'm not really a prankster but I love hearing stories or ideas. Jake and I once planned to do this whole series of pranks on his parents. We were going to put kool-aid powder on their lawn or ( Read more... )

I've been reading the last few days so I haven't been doing much of anything else. :P

Nothing much to share except for a couple of things and most are related to mission 101:

1. Jake's cousin is putting together a team to run in the Susan G. Komen 5k marathon. I've been wanting to do this so I told her I was in. (His aunt is a breast cancer suvivor ( Read more... )
